I was never into Soviet sci-fi. I heard it was pretty short, too, and the more interesting parts of Stalker were all from Tarkovsky's expansion of the concept.


Well, from what I have been told, Tarkovsky takes a small part of the story and develops it radically. I mean, Stalker has no clear indications of aliens at all. At least not until the creepy final scene, and even then...

From what I could tell, looking at a copy, it seems to be about the same length as Solaris.

yes, I wouldn't call Stalker an expansion. More of a distillation. *NM* Ouranid - 02/05/2012 04:03:42 PM 257 Views
